Enrolling At

Waihi Central School

Starting school is an exciting time for both children and their families. At Waihi Central School we work hard to ensure each child has a positive and successful transition to school. We look forward to building a wonderful relationship with you, your family and your child.

Enrolment Procedures

When enrolling at Waihi Central School, you will need to bring:

- a copy of your child’s birth certificate or passport,

- a copy of your child’s immunisation certificate

- collect a New Entrant enrolment pack / book bag

- fill out an official enrolment form (included in enrolment pack)

Our Office Administrator is more than happy to assist you in filling in the necessary paperwork.

Transition for Pre-enrolled students

The main transition activities for new five year olds include:

- Pre-enrolment forms completed (preferably at least 6 weeks) before child’s 5th birthday.

- A recommended three school visits with parent/caregiver before child’s 5th birthday, consisting of two morning sessions and one afternoon in the classroom. These visits are great opportunities to meet the teachers and other children, become familiar with our school environment and equipment, and make new friends!

- A visit to your early childhood centre by the New Entrant teacher and students from the new entrant class.

Return Visits

Our New Entrant teacher and Deputy Principal also organise a return visit for your child after 3 weeks at school, back at their early childhood centre.

Changing Contact Details

Whenever there is a change of address, home or business telephone numbers, parent’s hours of work, medical information, or family circumstances, please inform the school promptly. Out of date information can mean that we are unable to contact you in an emergency.

We look forward to working with you and your Whanau. We are more than happy to assist you with any queries you may have.
